Apparently Google wasn't hacked,  just glitchy.

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2020/dec/14/google-suffers-worldwide-outage-with-gmail-youtube-and-other-services-down

The widespread failure of Google services revealed to many the extent to which they rely on the company for basic tasks. The company’s smart home services were some of the first to cause real problems: users who had rebuilt their homes around voice commands found themselves unable to turn on the lights thanks to a failure of Google Home and Google Assistant, while those with the company’s Nest thermostats were unable to control their home’s heating with an app, as they had become used to doing.


( As if that weren't enough of a textbook case of "white people problems, " there was also the paragraph describing people who were "unable to even vacuum their homes, " being tragically abandoned by Roombas which were somehow tied to Google Smart Home apps...)

“White people problems”?
How condescending of you.

Nope.   It's a reference to the Louis CK standup bit.   Worth Googling finding on a search engine.

ROFL

Who knew that Ward was such a Louis CK fan!?

Three claps for William Barr, classy in exit

On Trump:

“Your 2016 victory speech in which you reached out to your opponents and called for working together for the benefit of the American people was immediately met by a partisan onslaught against you in which no tactic, no matter how abusive and deceitful, was out of bounds,” Barr wrote.

“The nadir of this campaign was the effort to cripple, if not oust, your Administration with frenzied and baseless accusations of collusion with Russia,” Barr continued. “Few have weathered these attacks, much less forge ahead with a positive program for the country

I only have one more Atlantic read until subscribe in January. I’m unwilling to do that so you should excerpt the relevant points, print them out and eat them.

Simply delete all cookies for The Atlantic on your browser and you're back in business.

For Chrome it's really easy as you just click the little icon at the left of the address bar, and get a drop down menu with site info including cookies.  Just click on the cookies and delete all of 'em (the cookie folders, not one at a time).  Takes 5 secs.

When Obama became President, I was genuinely concerned that somebody would try to assassinate him.  Racism in America is pretty hardcore.

But what about Biden?
He's perceived as an old white moderate, generally likable personally.
But these days, there are a lot of armed assholes, while Trump has ratcheted up tensions with claims of fraud and illegitimacy.  And even the Biden/Obama agenda is being castigated as some sort of socialist death-to-America plan.  Chances are some Trump right wing scum is ready to take things too far.

At least in Pandemic America, Biden will be secluded for most of the first year, during which the political temperature hopefully drops down, as the country becomes disinfected of the disease and trumpism.

All sorts of studies that you refuse to consider, as usual.

The charts do not prove racism, nor could they.
